Does YouTube TV Include Fox Nation? What You Actually Get

YouTube TV does not carry Fox Nation as a standalone channel

YouTube TV includes Fox-owned channels like Fox News, Fox Sports, and regional Fox affiliates, but Fox Nation is not among them. Fox Nation is a separate streaming service owned by Fox Corporation that requires its own subscription, distinct from YouTube TV's bundle.

If you want Fox Nation content while using YouTube TV, you would need to pay for both services separately. YouTube TV does not offer Fox Nation as an add-on channel or premium tier upgrade.

Key Takeaways

YouTube TV carries Fox News and Fox Sports channels but does not include Fox Nation, which is a separate paid streaming service.
Fox News on YouTube TV is the cable news channel; Fox Nation is a subscription streaming platform with different programming and original shows.
To watch Fox Nation content, you must subscribe to Fox Nation directly through its own app or website, regardless of your YouTube TV subscription.
YouTube TV's Fox channels cover news, sports, and local broadcasts, but not the exclusive content Fox Nation produces for its subscribers.

What channels does YouTube TV actually include from Fox

YouTube TV carries Fox News Channel, which broadcasts cable news programming 24 hours a day. You also get access to Fox Sports channels in most markets, including FS1 and regional sports networks that carry local team games and sports commentary.

In addition, YouTube TV includes your local Fox broadcast affiliate — the station that airs network programming like sports, entertainment, and news in your area. These are the main Fox-branded channels available through YouTube TV's standard package.

The difference between Fox News and Fox Nation

Fox News is a traditional cable news channel that broadcasts on television and streams through YouTube TV. It airs news programs, opinion shows, and breaking coverage throughout the day. You watch it the same way you watch any other cable channel in your YouTube TV lineup.

Fox Nation is a streaming-only service that produces original shows, documentaries, and exclusive content not available on Fox News or any cable channel. It functions like Netflix or Disney+ — you subscribe to it separately, log into its app, and stream what you want to watch. The two services have different content libraries and different subscription costs.

How to watch Fox Nation if you have YouTube TV

You would need to subscribe to Fox Nation through its own website or mobile app. Visit foxnation.com or read the Fox Nation app on your phone, tablet, or streaming device. Create an account and choose a subscription plan — Fox Nation offers monthly and annual options.

Your YouTube TV subscription does not reduce the cost of Fox Nation or give you any discount. The two subscriptions operate completely separately, and you would pay the full Fox Nation price on top of whatever you pay for YouTube TV each month.

Why Fox Nation is not bundled with YouTube TV

Fox Corporation owns both Fox News (the cable channel) and Fox Nation (the streaming service), but they operate as distinct products with different business models. Cable channels like Fox News are licensed to YouTube TV through distribution agreements. Fox Nation is a direct-to-consumer streaming service that Fox wants people to subscribe to independently.

Bundling Fox Nation with YouTube TV would reduce the revenue Fox makes from Fox Nation subscriptions. Instead, Fox keeps the services separate so people who want Fox Nation content must pay for it directly. This is the same approach other media companies take — for example, Disney owns both ESPN (available through YouTube TV) and Disney+ (a separate subscription).
